Le Hourdel, France

Okay apologies for the poor quality of this photo. This is Le Hourdel lighthouse on the south side of the Somme estuary in northern France. It was taken on a gloomy late afternoon from Le Crotoy on the northern side of the estuary, from the Le Crotoy lighthouse.
A light had stood here since 1840 but like many lighthouses along this coast, it was destroyed during WW2. Rebuilt 1848.
